Foundation aims to bring happiness to others

A North Okanagan charity has a goal to help fund other worthwhile charitable organizations that have the goal of helping others.

The Emily Dahl Foundation has made its first ever contribution to the Compassionate Friends Of Canada.

The Dahl family attended a luncheon and presentation where foundation co-founder and father of Emily Dahl, Sherman Dahl, shared his thoughts on happiness and the goals of their foundation with The Compassionate Friends Group at Whatshan Lake Retreat Center near Lumby.

“This was not only our first official grant of $500 from The Emily Dahl Foundation, it was the first time I have spoken to a group of parents that have also experienced the loss of child. I was truly happy to be there and feel the entire afternoon created a huge amount of positive energy for us all,” said Dahl.
